Tasting a Passed Love
What was once pressed together
in intimate detail is now no more.
What was once beautiful and whole
is now without form or taste, or so I thought.
I bow my head and touch the tip of my tongue
to the cold ash of his remains, tasting the
salty bitterness of his cock as
it was when we were young.

I was given a few minutes alone with the burial urn of a man who was once my lover.

Oh Nizana, you grabbed me with this one, I won't say where. Will make me think twice every time I think of cremation.

Brings a new meaning to 'old flame'! LOL. Brought to mind rhyming comment:
Tasting the dust
of youthful lust?

This is just one more reason as to the relevance and importance of a cleansing after the passing of a loved one.
It allows people to break from their bondage and disconnect from being tied down to someone spiritually.
Many people should remember that we are all spiritual beings having a physical body experience on earth.
Sorry for your loss. May passed love R.I.P.
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti. Amen.

This blew me away. The scene you painted and the wonder of how you remembered him through taste was a sensual fury. You take a dark scene and made a passionate farewell. That takes real talent. This is incredibly original and to know based on reality makes it all the more delicious. Loved what you made here.
